RESUMO

To investigate the value of cardiovascular magnetic resonance tissue-tracking (CMR-TT) imaging in the differentiation of subendocardial and transmural myocardial infarction (MI) and determine whether strain parameters are enable to detect adverse left ventricular (LV) remodeling.Global peak circumferential, longitudinal, and radial strains (GPCS, GPLS, GPRS) and segmental peak circumferential, longitudinal, and radial strains (PCS, PLS, PRS) in accordance with the 16-segment model were all derived. All positive segments were divided into two groups according to transmural degree. All patients were dichotomized in accordance with the existence of LV remodeling, which was defined as infarct size (IS) > 24%.Patients with MI showed significant lower GPRS, GPCS, and GPLS than the control group (16.41% ± 8.92%, -8.77%± 3.51%, -7.54% ± 2.43% versus 32.41% ± 12.99%, -14.92% ± 3.32%, -11.50% ± 2.51%). Lower PRS [3.25% (-5.57, 7.835) versus 19.94% (12.50, 30.75), P < 0.001] and PCS (-3.81 ± 4.60% versus -8.97± 4.43%, P < 0.001) can be found in transmural infarcted segments compared to subendocardial infarcted segments. PLS between transmural and subendocardial infarcted segments (-4.03% ± 4.88% versus -4.34% ± 4.98%), without however statistical significance (P = 0.523). The optimal cutoff value for PRS in the discriminate diagnosis of MI was 8.97% with a sensitivity of 81.8% and specificity of 98.0%. The optimal cutoff value for PCS was -7.56% with a sensitivity of 83.6% and specificity of 72.1%. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis revealed an optimal cutoff GPRS of 15.45%, and GPCS of -6.72% yielded high diagnostic accuracy in the identification of remodeling, which was higher than left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF).CMR-TT can differentiate between subendocardial and transmural infarction and detect LV remodeling, and the diagnostic value was superior to conventional functional parameters.

RESUMO

Proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) is characterized by neovascularization on the surface of the retina or the optic disc, which is associated with environmental and genetic factors. However, its regulatory mechanism remains to be fully elucidated, particularly at a multiomics level. In the present study, a comprehensive analysis was performed of the gene expression profile of fibrovascular membranes (FVMs) associated with PDR, including an analysis of differentially expressed genes, functional enrichment, and regulation of transcription factors (TFs). As a result, novel marker genes of PDR were identified, including flavin containing monooxygenase 2. Furthermore, several common or specific genes, pathways and TFs have been recovered for active and inactive FVMs. In the present study, lymphoid enhancer binding factor 1 (LEF1) was identified as an upregulator in active and inactive FVMs, which is capable of activating or repressing target genes, including claudin 2, secreted phosphoprotein 1 (SPP1), and aristaless-like homeobox 4. It was demonstrated that the Wnt/ß-catenin effector LEF1 regulating SPP1 is potentially important in PDR. The results of the present study may provide novel insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying the pathophysiology of PDR.
